Our Vetting Protocol

A more rigorous way to qualify sales and marketing talent.

Every candidate passes the same five-step bar: evidence of impact, live skills, realistic scenarios, communication quality, and verified performance—so you only meet people who already clear a high standard.

The 5-step process

How RevSmiths filters for quality before a candidate ever reaches you.

01

Application Screening

We start by filtering for verified experience, role relevance, and evidence of real business impact.

Performance history review

Role-specific track record

Relevant industry and execution fit

02

Live Skill Assessment

Candidates are tested live on the skills that matter most for their discipline, not just what looks good on a resume.

Cold calling and objection handling

Copywriting and campaign judgment

Strategic thinking under pressure

03

Real-World Scenario

We give candidates a practical business problem to solve so we can see how they think, prioritize, and execute.

48-hour scenario task

Clear business context

Measured on practicality and clarity

04

Communication Evaluation

Strong execution is not enough. We look for people who communicate clearly, collaborate well, and work effectively across teams.

English fluency and clarity

EQ and remote collaboration

Client-facing professionalism

05

Performance Verification

Before anyone enters the network, we verify the quality of their work through references and historical validation.

Manager or client references

Blind verification where possible

Consistency across claims and outcomes

Final network standard

Only a small percentage of candidates make it through the entire flow. The result is a tighter, more trustworthy network built for real client delivery.

Why this matters

Better filtering upfront means faster shortlists, higher match quality, and less hiring risk for the client.

What we look for

Strong resumes are not enough. We look for deeper signals of real operating quality.

Proven outcomes

We look for operators who can show revenue impact, growth wins, campaign performance, or clear evidence of strong execution.

Commercial thinking

We prefer people who understand business context, not just task completion. Strong talent should know why the work matters.

Remote readiness

Communication, responsiveness, reliability, and clarity are non-negotiable for a distributed talent model.

Role-specific depth

Every role is assessed differently so SDRs, AEs, growth marketers, social media managers, and strategists are judged on the right criteria.
